(I may be the last one to realize this -) Dan's bibliography for the Brownell article is now posted on the website! Go to "Resources" and then to "Rosa Mundi" - scroll to the bottom of the list, and there it is! Betty | ||

Dan: Its not so much the camera as the scanning process I think. I looked at some of my scanned photos from when before I had a digital camera and they had that same loss of clear color and liveliness. Plus I always noticed dust specks on the ones I scanned. Additionally, when you're not paying for film and processing you feel free to take many more shots of the same subject, improving your chances of getting what you want. A digital camera is great, haven't used film in the 3 years since I got one. And good ones are no longer expensive like they were 3 years ago. Mine focuses up to 3/4" away from the bloom w/o a closeup lens, which I like. Does an only so-so job on full garden shots though | ||

Great photos, Patsy!  I probably should go more digital for that greater clarity. I'll give you a hardcopy of the Brownell bibliography at either the RI or CT Show. I'm still mystified & perplexed over why it was omitted  . I really sweated over that baby, so as to make available in print the first detailed list of readings that I know of for the Brownell roses. | ||

I love 'Orange Ruffels' (spelling correct) too, lovely sort of a soft creamsicle color. Here's 'Golden Arctic', real hardy yellow Brownell pillar rose  | ||

I'd love to see your reference list that they left out of the Brownell article, Dan. Here's Orange Ruffels by Brownell Patsy  | ||

And this is the buxom 'Red Duchess', which the Brownells considered their most fragrant HT. I think they were right  | ||

In my Brownell HT article in the current ROSA MUNDI, I believe there were a few photos of rare varieties left-out, along with all of the bibliography, alas. That gives me the chance to attempt to post of few photos  This is the Brownell HT 'Delightful', a warm melon yellow with tints of orange & pink  |
